tv   The O Reilly Factor  FOX News  March 5, 2012 5:00pm-6:00pm PST

5:00 pm
his speech scheduled for 9:30. 8:30 central. we have it hannity and streaming live at foxnews.com. the factor is coming up next. mr. bill is in today. seemed chipper. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight: >> i want to correct a misperception which mr. limbaugh and a lot of other commentators have been putting out there to confuse the public. >> bill: sandra fluke continues crusade for contraception. there is much more to this story than you know. bernie goldberg will talk about the media coverage of the situation. [chanting] >> bill: super tuesday less than 24 hours away. we have analysis from brit hume. juan williams and mary katharine ham. >> oh my god i can't believe what i'm seeing. >> he they are all gone and they shouldn't be gone] alarm] >> bill: how bad were the tornadoes in the midwest and
5:01 pm
south? he we will run down the damage, the injuries, and the heart break. >> it's all hard. all of them gone. >> bill: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. captions by closed captioning services >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama and sandra fluke. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. stay with me on this one it's complicated but important. last friday we invited sandra fluke on the factor. she has become the poster woman in the debate birth control coverage mandated by the federal government. unfortunately miss fluke would not appear on the factor instead she has chosen friendly venues where she will not be challenged. now, did i not, did not want to talk to sandra fluke about contraception.
5:02 pm
that's a personal issue and as i said on friday she is free to do whatever she wants in that area it's none of my business. by the way that memo is posted on bill o'reilly.com. i did want to ask the young woman about her sense of entitlement. why should anyone have to pay increased health insurance premiums so that she and others can get the pill free? as we all know health insurance companies pass any and all costs on to the consumer. since president obama took office, my health insurance premiums have risen about 30%. and once obama care kicks in, they will go even higher. so that's what i want to talk to sandra fluke about just in case she changes her mind. now the big picture. when the obama administration decided to order the catholic church to cover birth control and the morning after pill they quickly got into trouble. the president was warned not to do that by vice president biden but health secretary kathleen sebelius won the debate and the president went up against the church. soon after he had to retreat because the government simply cannot order religious
5:03 pm
organizations to do anything that runs counter to their belief systems. that's flat out unconstitutional. so, sensing danger, the obama administration quickly pivoted and attempted to make the whole situation about women's health. enter sandra fluke. a contraception activist. the democrats tried to force a house congressional committee to hear her testimony. but the committee saying she was not diviewstled speak on church state issues which they were talking about turned her down. that's when ms. fluke went public and into the firestorm. so press toe, what was a big loser, president obama intruding on the catholic church became a potential winner, president obama protecting the rights of women. in reality, the whole contraception situation is bogus. under title 10 of the public health service act, 75% of all the counties in the u.s.a.
5:04 pm
provide free birth control to women who want it. 75%. and the rest of the counties are so rural nobody lives there. president obama well understands that he needs american women to support him next november. 2008 he beat john mccain 56% to 43% among women. thus, sandra fluke is now a major part of the obama re-election campaign. that's what this is all about. and that's the memo. now for the top story reaction. joining us for reaction syndicated columnest mona sharon and editor and chief "the washington post" on faith forum sally quinn. what say you? >> you can run by that again? >> bill: i tried. i warned you. >> no. did you a good job. did you a good job. it was very concise. and i say that obama just been given a huge gift by the republics. and by the religious right and by rush limbaugh because what
5:05 pm
he has done, what they have done is managed to make the republics and the religious right look as though they are anti-women. >> bill: but that's not true it's not true. >> well, but that's what it looks like. >> bill: okay and the pfeffer accepts is reality in some cases. >> well, it may in fact be true. >> bill: you are smart enough and you wouldn't be on this program if you thought it were true. it isn't true. there is nobody denying american women access to contraceptives. you can get them free almost anywhere you want. this is a whole bogus deal. ms. shearn, how do you see it. >> well, once again, the democrats and liberals have demonstrated a real talent for changing the subject to something they find more congenial. so, they didn't like the subject of the obama attack on the faith community and on the religious conscience of catholics who didn't want to provide the morning after pill
5:06 pm
and birth control be forced to do it. so now they have vacated this so-called war on women idea that if you are not given a subsidy, if you are not given something for free, that this is somehow denying you your right. >> bill: that's right. isn't it brilliant that the left was able to pull this off? look what they did? you absolutely both of you said it. they took an issue that was dragging president obama down. they found that sandra fluke, they plucked ms. fluke. they plucked her right off othe campus of georgetown where she was a well-known activist in this area. they tried to jam her into a hearing that had nothing to do with contraception. church and state was the subject. congressman issa said i'm sorry we don't know who this woman is. we are not going to let her testify. they put it out there and then the right wing guys on the radio, some of them, fell into the trap, started to make this a huge story. >> bill, back in the 1980s and
5:07 pm
early '90s we had a similar debate. it was about controversial art. and the nea had given taxpayer subsidies to robert maple thorpe. >> bill: i was just a young boy at the time. >> of course you were. yes, you were in high school at the time. >> bill: precocious youngster. i got to get back to sally quinn. you can't be buying into this war on women. you just can't be. it's dishonest. come on. you know that's not what is in play here. >> bill, isn't it just a couple of weeks ago that we -- that obama was -- there was a war on religion. which means essentially war on christianity and that we weren't sure -- they weren't sure the republic candidates whether obama was really a christian or not? i mean, i think that the position of the church and obama -- the fact that he changed his position was admirable. he put this out.
5:08 pm
>> bill: you think he did it for admirable reasons not because he was getting pounded in the polls? it was al truism that made the president walk back the decision. >> is he one of these people who actually listens when people say this isn't working? >> bill: he didn't listen to vice president biden did he or chief of staff, daily? they said you are going to get your butt kicked mr. president. >> he decide he made a mistake and he changed his mind and he said let's go and re-think this and he did and he put forth a really reasonable program. >> bill: he would lose if it went to the supreme court. ms. shearn, i'm going to give you the last word on it i still contend to you this was a brilliant maneuver by whatever democrat thought this up because it was thought up. that woman, ms. fluke did not got in the front of that committee by accident. whoever got on that campaign is very smart. i will give you the last word. >> it was clever maneuver but only in so far as republics fall victim to it and failed to make the point that the
5:09 pm
real issue is being be a secured. by the way, ill would just say this about obama's so-called accommodation it was really nothing of the kind. it was consistent with his administration's ten sen is i which is force people, private individuals to do things that he wants them to do. in this case forcing the insurance companies to provide this product for free. >> bill: all right. ladies, very lively debate and we thank you both. juan and mary katharine will weighen in 00 fluke controversy and analyze the super tuesday vote tomorrow. later, bernie goldberg on how the media is reporting sandra fluke. that should be interesting. and we're coming right back. ok, guys-- what's next ?

now starting unit nine. some of the world's cleanest gas turbines are now powering some of america's biggest cities. siemens. answers. rare appearance mary katharine ham both fox news annual list. you are in new york. exciting for you, right? >> yes, very exsightedding. in the big city. >> you are from a rural area? >> yes. >> so you are heard the two ladies in my talking points. am i going terribly wrong here? you are tuned into the women's movement, right? >> i'm totally down with your talking points. >> bill: you are down with it, okay. excellent. >> here is the point i want to make. if you want to know whether it was political. look at the timing of the decision to make the contraceptives free.
5:13 pm
it happens in august right when college women are going back to college. trying to make up some ground with women, particularly get maybe some young women energized. the catholic lacks the -- catholic reaction. religious objections caught him off guard. they counted on othe fact that the media could help them with that. >> bill: the medias ha helped them. this is interesting, juan, the media helped them two ways, number one, the left-wing media wants as many subsidized perks as possible coming into people. they just want a bigger government. that's what they want. and then the right wing media is so adamantly opposed to the perks, basically went after this young woman. which made her a martyr and elevated her status far beyond what it would have been had they, you know, just kept it in the issue of why is -- does she feel entitled to this? that's what i'm fascinated by. >> i think you are off on this one, bill.
5:14 pm
i think this has been a totally self-inflicted wound by republicans. i appreciate the fact that you and mary katharine good souls are trying to bail water or a sinking ship for the g.o.p. here. the fact is, let's look at this. number one, santorum says contraception not okay. governor o'donnell in virginia oh, yeah, let's have invasive ultrasounds for pregnant women who are considering abortion. number three, how about the blunt amendment last week in the senate. any employer for any conscious region can say no to contraception. >> bill: i think the majority of americans would have voted for that wait wait wait. look, juan, i know you find this hard to believe. but. >> yes. >> bill: but, perhaps, most of the country, i will say much of the country doesn't want the government telling people what they have to have in insurance coverage in living room. in their car garage. they don't want to be told that juan.
5:15 pm
i don't mind if an insurance company has coverage for birth control or the morning after pill. that's fine. but they don't have to be mandated so every american has no choice. but, anyway. go ahead. you reply to yuan. >> wait a second. hold on. that's not it, bill. >> bill: of course it. >> when you have an insurance company and you are saying, you know what? we are going to have a national health care plan that includes coverage for all americans, this is part of it. and you are right, the obama administration made a mistake. they did not anticipate the response the blow back when it came to the charities and hospitals hey, you are a private employer of course you have to provide it. >> bill: shouldn't and won't be because the supreme court is going to throw it out. any government mandate. the insurance company should all compete all of them in every state and offer what they want. that's the solution. >> but they don't compete. >> bill: will have in the future. >> no, they don't compete.
5:16 pm
>> bill: juan, mary katharine is going to talk now. >> in the alleged birth control crisis we have right now. government does provide it medicaid. 300 million. >> bill: that's right. it's available. >> two different freedoms here. one women have the freedom to get birth control many different ways including subsidized by the government. much of the employers in america cover it then the other freedom is that employers and private citizens are allowed to not pay for it. if they do not wish to. in this scenario, one of those freedoms is being taken away and it's the economic freedom of employers. >> tomorrow on super tuesday, do you see a headline? give me a headline wednesday morning in the "the washington post" for super tuesday, juan. what's the headline? >> romney wins. romney looks like a sure bet at this point. i think he turned the corner, bill, in michigan and it looks to me right now there will be pockets of resistance. but, if you look at the pattern, it looks like he has got momentum and that he will race past santorum in ohio, which is the critical state tomorrow. >> bill: that's the big one. your headline is? >> and then.
5:17 pm
>> bill: wait, juan, i only have a finite amount of time here. your headline. >> it pains me but i think juan is right. >> bill: you don't like romney? >> i don't like juan, of course. i'm kidding. >> bill: you don't like juan? >> no. i'm kidding. in ohio he is pulling ahead. santorum is momentum dependent. romney win and get a lot of the delegates that day even if he doesn't win somewhere like -- >> bill: i you both say the headline on wednesday is romney. gingrich is going to win georgia, juan, what does that mean? >>, no i i think there will be pockets of conservatives especially tea party types. oklahoma and tennessee. i think that the margins of resistance are smaller now and it's a sense of inevitability. again, is he going to be weaker. look at his numbers and negatives. they keep rising especially with independents and women. >> bill: if you really want to look at the long picture it's going to come down how he performs in the debate against president obama. last word, go. >> if gingrich stays in the issue is always santorum and
5:18 pm
gingrich continue to split. if he wins georgia -- >> -- gingrich will stay in if he wins georgia because the primaries after that are down south. >> bill: brit hume is next. he he will analyze what might happen on super tuesday and different perspective. federal judge tells a racial joke about barack obama. should that judge be impeached? i'm going to have to recite the joke and it is offensive. just giving you a viewer warning now. is it legal on othe case upcoming.

[ laughs ] >> bill: hume zone segment tonight. new polling out in the super tuesday state of ohio has romney and santorum tied there last week santorum was well ahead. with us now is brit hume. juan and mary katharine both say that the headline is for good for mitt romney on
5:22 pm
wednesday do you concur. >> i do for slightly different reasons. we are not to you stage of the contest i think we have been for a while where the size of margin only matters in terms of the delegates. this is now a long effort to gain enough delegates to win and tomorrow if you win a state you don't win all the delegates. this has been true in several states so far. you win whatever proportion your segment of the voter is roughly speaker in states where he loses mitt romney will still get some delegates. get nearly all of them in virginia because the other big -- not on the ballot. all of them in massachusetts which is his home state. and therefore he has got a leg up going when you look at ohio. everybody is going to focus on ohio tomorrow. possible santorum could win ohio. it's likely to be close enough that romney. >> bill: romney walks away. >> he might get the lion's share because santorum don't
5:23 pm
have full slates of delegates in ohio. he is only competing like 63, i think available tomorrow. he is only competing for 45 of them. >> bill: why? >> organizational failure to get delegates. >> bill: his organization didn't get into all the precincts they needed to get into. >> same problem in virginia didn't get on the ballot. >> bill: romney the headline and newt gingrich the georgia. that keeps gingrich alive for the next primary in the south. paul is going to stay in why not because he has nothing else to do. and i think santorum, i can't foresee him dropping out, can you? >> there comes a point in these campaigns where even though you are, you know, getting some delegates and you are still alive, sort of technically. >> bill: you don't have any money, you don't have any money. what's been keeping gingrich and santorum alive is a couple of very rich guys been willing to finance the super pacs.
5:24 pm
>> bill: they can't keep on inned a fin night tum. >> the question is whether they will. reading the headlines and rules. thinking along with the rich guys -- >> bill: all about the money we're are all in agreement that mitt romney is really way out in front now. and will probably remain so. following this is an dra fluke thing? i know -- >> -- yeah. i have been following it. >> bill: can you get the ball through the wind mill yet? [ laughter ] you have been following it. and i think i'm being reasonable here. i got attacked because if you say anything negative about ms. fluke you are anti-women and from venus. mars and -- whatever they do. and all i see and i admire this is somebody in the democratic party turning this disaster around on a dime. they have momentum. >> until rush limbaugh said what he said of her. had you heard of sandra fluke. >> i did but the folks didn't.
5:25 pm
>> of course they didn't. what happened here is that this effort by the democrats to change the subject of this, which they have been working on for some time, she was part of that didn't really do very much initially. then, she -- then she was the subject of this attack by rush and hell hell broke loose. my sense about it is that most republicans have been sitting there like watching this thing go on. >> bill: what happened? >> the problem for the republicans is that rush limbaugh is associated with them. so they get some -- it rubs off on them. my guess is by november, bill, we won't be talking about this. >> bill: see, the republic -- all four of them have a lot of trouble getting to the hub of the issue. the hub of the issue is freedom. this is what this is all about, all right? obama administration continually says to the american public you are not going to make your own decisions anymore. we are going to make them. this is an extension of that they're telling the catholic church, hey, don't really care about what the constitution
5:26 pm
says. you are going to pick up this insurance, we don't care what your belief system is. it all goes back to freedom. none of the republic candidates thus far have been able to make that the banner issue. >> this has been a dividing line between the left and the right for a long time. when you raise taxes and spend the money on providing benefits to people, they lose a little freedom. lose a little freedom what to do with your money. you lose a little freedom. this is something that republicans have stood against for a long time. i'm not sure they are winning the battle long term. >> bill: they can't define it they haven't been able to define it. >> even when they have, they haven't always won. >> bill: i could do it. [ laughter ] i'm not a republic but i'm sitting there banging my head against the wall. americans want freedom. they do. they don't understand them, many of them how it's being encroached upon. >> the problem is a lot of americans want the free stuff too. >> bill: they do. the freedom wins out over the free stuff for most of us.

5:40 pm
mr. goldberg. this story as i mentioned and i think you would agree with me because bernie and i chatted on the phone earlier today about it is a much bigger story about a re-election of a president. that's where this is now landing rather than a talk radio story and ideological story, would you agree with that? >> unfortunately agree 100% with that the reason i say unfortunately, is because all the attention is now focused on the comments that rush made and whether the apology is real or not and what the long-term effects of what he said will be. where the -- and to some extent that's all legitimate. i have no problem with that. but it's distracted us from another set of questions. one, here is a woman who was smart enough to get into georgetown law. she is smart enough to get into that school. she is smart enough to get into a whole bunch of other schools. yet, she thinks that a catholic university, which she
5:41 pm
consciously decided to attend should change its values to suit her. that discussion isn't really happening. >> bill: she knew that georgetown's insurance policies that cover students did not include contraception when she agreed to go to the school. >> there should be more of a discussion about that she believes and a lot of other people on the left believe that the federal government has every right to require an entire industry to give away a product for free. okay? where is the discussion about what other products county federal government require businesses to give out for free? that's a very important question. >> bill: that's what i said on friday. if you are going to say this is under the banner of women's health, all right. then there is a whole bunch of other products that rund the banner of not only women's health but men's health. so where does it end?
